Safe Home Ireland was set up as a Pilot Project in January 2000 by a local GP and our current Chairperson, Dr. Jerry Cowley. At that time, as a rural GP and Chairman of a Voluntary Housing scheme based in Mulranny, a number of people enquired about the possibility of their elderly relatives returning home to live in their native area. Publicity around the Pilot Project increased with queries coming from all over the world, highlighting the demand and need for a separate organisation. Successful campaigning and support from the Department of Foreign Affairs & Trade ensured that Safe Home was registered as an Organisation in its own right in 2002.

The Senior Help Line - launched in Summerhill, Co. Meath in February 1998 - provides opportunities for older people to talk to someone of their own age group for the price of a local call from anywhere in Ireland. Callers can talk to one of the older volunteers and all calls are taken in the strictest confidence.

The Sisters of Nazareth is a registered Irish charity, which has been providing care to older people in Ireland since 1876. Nazareth House is the first choice of many people whose care needs can no longer be fulfilled at home. While there is no place like home, Nazareth House recognizes that home can be many things to many people but above all, it is a place where one is respected, has dignity, autonomy of choice and experiences love. The Sisters of Nazareth have six homes in Ireland: Dublin, Mallow, Sligo, Ballymote, Fahan and Belfast.

In 1988 the Summerhill Active Retirement Group was established in response to the lack of facilities available to many members of the older community. This was the brainchild of Mary Nally, who from her first-hand experience of nursing older people at St. Joseph's Hospital in Trim, Co. Meath, was well aware of the negative health implications of lack of activities and isolation on older people. An approach to the older people in the village was met with great enthusiasm and support.
